**Russia Loses One Million Soldiers, Moscow’s Casualties Reach Seven Figures, Ukraine Says**
The General Staff of Ukraine’s army has made a significant announcement that coincides with Russia’s national holiday, known as Russia Day. According to the Ukrainian military officials, Russian military personnel losses since February 24, 2022, have reached an astonishing 1,000,340.
This revelation comes at a time when the United States is pushing for negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow in an attempt to end the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. Despite Ukraine’s efforts, Russia continues its large-scale offensive operations along the entire frontline, relying on frontal assaults to seize more Ukrainian territory.
The General Staff reported that Ukraine’s Defense Forces eliminated 1,140 Russian soldiers in the past 24 hours, pushing the total number of Russian military losses since the start of the full-scale invasion past one million. This figure is particularly significant as it coincides with Russia Day, a day celebrated by the Russian state to commemorate its national holiday.
The Ukrainian military officials clarified that the General Staff’s figures refer specifically to Russian soldiers killed in action, whereas foreign sources often interpret these numbers as the combined total of those killed and wounded. The announcement was made public through the General Staff’s official Facebook page.
